He brought him outside and said, Look now at the heavens and count the stars, if you are able to count them. And He said to him, So shall your seed be.
that blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and as the sand which is on the lip of the sea. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.
And I will increase your seed like the stars of the heavens, and I will give to your seed all these lands. And all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves in your Seed,

And Joab said to the king, Yea, may Jehovah your God add to the people like them, however many they may be, and like them a hundred times. And may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king delight in this thing?
And Joab said, May Jehovah add to His people as if they were a hundred times; my lord, O king, are they not all of them servants to my lord? Why does my lord desire this? Why will he be a cause of guilt to Israel?

As a myriad, as a field shoot, I have given you, and you are grown and are great. And you come in the ornament of ornaments. Your breasts are formed, and your hair is grown, yet you were naked and bare.
See, I have given before you the land; go in and possess the land which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them, and to their seed after them.
And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the heavens for multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
